you are gonna have some catching up to do if you can't be in a property by april 1st. april all my full season will already be vegging in the greenhouse for a early may planting. and thats just the plants, unless you are buying a turnkey operation its going to be a shitload of work to get things rolling. i would recommend hiring some helpers, building out a veg room asap for your moms/clone starts, if not you will have to drop $$ on dispensary clones. maybe aim for a june planting and do larger amounts of plants to make up for it. as soon as you sign escrow get pallets or soil trucks delivered within the week so you get it out on the hill quicker. and buy water tanks ASAP with the drought local stores are selling out quick, the local tractor supply already has a 4 week backorder on 2500s. good luck!

Dazeys in Garberville is guaranteeing stock of Norwesco's all year, FWIW.

 

[GemFinder]

Sorry , I meant to say Redway.

 

[OrganicBuds]

HUH? Are those clones are something?

 

[Corpsey]

Norwesco is a water tank brand

i would get 3000-5000 gallon tanks instead of 2500s. the average water truck holds 3k gallons so if you need a delivery might as well get a tank that can take every gallon. …you will need at least two tanks (5k minimum) so otherwise your sending the truck guy home with 1000 gallons that you paid for.

2500g tanks goin for 999.99 and the 3k tanks go for 1800 which is a weird price jump. but i found a place in butte that sells the 3k for 1400. anyone else got a better price?

I know of a local store that just sold 17 2500 gallon tanks...to two people.

The water situation seems serious for some this year. Give thanks for flowing water and producing wells and full ponds.

Just wanted to throw out there, for the price of 4 3000 gallon tanks, you can make a pretty sick pond that will hold Way more water than 12,000 gallons, and have a place to swim.

Better be cautious with that one. In California, the State Water Resources Board considers standing water to be their water regardless of whose property it is sitting on. I have a friend that bought a new parcel below Anderson and one of the first things that he did was build a reservoir like on his old place. He immediately got visited and stipulations placed on usage, design, how much water he was required to release, timing of releases, etc, etc. The state apparently got onto it from pictures taken via overflights. I don't have any idea if there is a minimum below which they don't care, but the way that things are shaping up, I think Southern California is going to come before a watering trough.

fuckin southern california stealing all our damn water. lake oroville gets drained to feed SoCal and yet our county barely sees any benefit from it, just an empty lake and we can't even get our boats and jet skis into it because the water level is below the ramp launch.

Lots of down talk on Yuba in here...lol.

Yuba county is a really beautiful place, allot like Nevada co, but better growing laws...

There are no garden sq ft restrictions for outdoor in yuba, only plant count per acerage, and if you have 20+ acres its 99.

And real estate is cheaper than Nevada co for the most part. Sure the towns might be shit, but its got a nice range of foothills and forests, lots of growers too...

Grass valley is always a short drive away, and San fran is 3 hours...

 

[theJointedOne]

if your not catching rain and or storing water when it is running heavy, your not doing it right

 

[StanKDanK]

hows the hunt going OB ?

 

[Shcrews]

the county i'm in is pretty unpopulated and lots of people growing very big, Also not much problem with the draught. but they might pass a 24 plant ordinance similar to Mendocino.

Colorado is difficult to get the plants to finish outdoors. I love Sativa but the best I can do outdoors is a Indica Dom hybrid. Indoors is fine though. For outdoor grows think the southern part of the state. If you are into outdoors sports you can settle most anywhere and grow indoors. Around Denver the traffic is brutal, and in the college towns the spoiled kids will make you crazy. I am fond of Pueblo. The climate is better, and housing and land is more affordable. Across the moutains is Salida. It is a dry redrocks and canyon country but I like it. I have heard it gets windy sometimes.

 

[StanKDanK]

still looking OB ?
